After just going through the Lowell Fire where many Nevada County residents had to evacuate their homes, you may have a good idea of what worked and what was lacking in your emergency preparedness plan. Nevada County Office of Emergency Services Director, Vic Ferrera says a good plan begins with a good kit.

Ferrera encourages everyone in the county to sign up to get emergency notifications through the Code Red system. If you have an A-T-and-T land line phone you area already connected, but for internet, or cell phones you will need to sign up on www.mynevadacounty.com and search for Code Red.
